I've had issues with music and banter, too, so I will defitnely be trying that, thank you Rascoth. XD
I adore the Emerald Graves. I visit it on occassion just to run around and enjoy the beauty of it all. Fantastic (fantaaastic!) work from Bioware's artists, right there. All over the place. Just damn, so pretty. XD The Elven lore there just serves to make it even better, if possible.
Thanks! I usually listen to the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary soundtrack when playing. It's strangely fitting. Lol but I love the DA music and would like to hear it more, since it fits the atmosphere best!
It fixed for me both music and banter, so there's still hope, right? 
I really wish you luck with that. I've spent 400+ hours with silence, so I know your pain.
Hahaha! I've often run into things or stopped unexpectedly dead against a mossy tree root because I was so busy admiring the view and listening to the music.
Falling into Giant's cave was one of the most unexpected (and the most ungraceful) things that happend to distracted me.
I totally forgot to mention that Emerald Graves has one of my favourite location comments. Especially Bull's
